The mourning process consists of three movements: bereavement, guiltiness and forgiveness. Each of them has a particular rhythm and influence on the subject’s personal experience of time. Death is imagined as the great betrayal and the grief work as a radical confrontation with this feeling. The end of the mourning process forms the bond of a new relationship with the lost object, a Penelope’s shroud, a work made by grief and memory.

Keywords: Grief work, bereavement, guiltiness, betrayal, forgiveness, personal experience of time, memory, memories, transitional object, attachment
